00:00In my previous life, my husband Lucius was unfaithful to me.
00:03I saw my sister Mia and my husband making out in our bed.
00:07Only then did I know they had betrayed me long ago.
00:12Lucius flew into a rage and pierced my throat with my own sword.
00:18Mia and I are true loves.
00:21You tore us apart.
00:23This is all that you deserve.
00:25Before I died, I thought back on my life.
00:28On the day my sister and I came of age, a decree came down from the temple.
00:32The war god Nestor had fallen into a coma during battle
00:35and needed the help of Zeus' daughter to revive him.
00:38So my dad decided that Mia and I would draw lots to decide our fates.
00:42One would marry Lucius, the future king of the gods.
00:46One would marry Nestor to awaken the comatose war god.
00:51In my past life, I drew Lucius.
00:55But after he ascended to the throne of the king of the gods,
00:58the first thing he did was to slaughter my entire family.
01:01The second before darkness consumed me, the oracle's voice echoed.
01:05My marriage will decide the fate of Olympus.
01:08Then I opened my eyes.
01:09I found myself standing in my dad's palace.
01:12I had actually been reborn.
01:13I went back to the day when I drew lots with Mia.
01:16Mia stood beside me.
01:18My dad held out the drawing bowl to me.
01:20Victoria, you draw first.
01:24I used my divine power to crush the lottery slip directly.
01:31There is no need for a lottery to determine it.
01:34There is no need for a lottery to determine it.
01:37My voice echoed through the great hall.
01:41I will go to the temple of war.
01:43I will marry Nestor.
01:46Since Victoria is willingly going to the temple of war,
01:50then I dared to ask for your blessing for Mia and me.
01:53Dad slapped his hand on the throne.
01:55The agreement was that you would marry my daughter, Victoria!
01:59Dad had always known I loved Lucius.
02:01So he gave Lucius everything, hoping he would marry me
02:04and inherit the position of king of the gods.
02:06In my past life, Dad was imprisoned by him
02:09and in the end, he killed Dad with his own hands.
02:11That was his way.
02:12To take revenge on my father for blocking his marriage to Mia back then.
02:16I stepped forward and pressed his hand, shaking my head.
02:19Dad.
02:20Now Lucius was the most dazzling god in all Olympus.
02:23Without absolute certainty, I couldn't confront him directly.
02:26Lucius smiled.
02:28Zeus, I have become stronger than when I was young.
02:31Some promises expired long ago.
02:33He looked at me, his eyes full of disdain.
02:35What, Princess Victoria?
02:37Was everything you just said, just to get my attention?
02:40I dug my nails into my palm.
02:44Lucius.
02:44I looked into his eyes.
02:46Don't worry.
02:47I will go to the temple of war.
02:49He paused for a moment, then let out a cold laugh.
02:53Huh.
02:54You'd better actually go.
02:56Don't let me find out this is one of your tricks.
02:59Lucius stared at me for a long while.
03:01Then he took Mia's hand and left.
03:05Zeus gripped my sleeve, looking somewhat guilty.
03:08Your dad has wronged you.
03:11I know you've always loved Lucius.
03:15I never expected him to choose Mia.
03:18I knew what he was afraid of.
03:19He was afraid I'd go to the temple of war and become a widow.
03:23Afraid that if I left, I'd never return.
03:27Dad, don't worry.
03:29In my past life, Lucius killed Dad, slaughtered the rest of my family.
03:33The look of disgust Lucius gave me before I died was all burned into my mind.
03:37Marrying Nestor still left a sliver of hope.
03:40Marrying Lucius was truly walking into eternal damnation.
03:44I went to the treasury hall of Olympus.
03:47As soon as I entered, I made straight for the ruby necklace.
03:50It was a keepsake left to me by my mother, her wedding blessing to me.
03:54I was about to reach for it when the chatter of several goddesses nearby drifted into my ears.
03:59Lucius is so good to Mia.
04:01I heard he spent a...
04:03...was unwilling to give me one.
04:04So it wasn't that he was unwilling to part with it.
04:06It was that he didn't think I deserved nice things.
04:09I reached for the gemstone necklace.
04:11A hand suddenly reached over and snatched it away.
04:15I want this one.
04:17Mia's voice sounded above me.
04:18I looked up.
04:19Lucius was standing right behind her.
04:21I quickly grabbed the other end of the necklace.
04:25This is a gift my mother left for me.
04:29Lucius's gaze fell on my hand.
04:31He certainly recognized this necklace.
04:34Back when he hoped Zeus would grant him greater authority,
04:38he had once held my hand in his and sworn before the gods
04:41that on our wedding day, he would personally put this necklace on me.
04:47Lucius.
04:48This necklace matches my dress perfectly.
04:50I want this one.
04:52Lucius put his arm around Mia.
04:53Whatever you want, I will give you.
04:56Then he turned to the attendant and said,
04:58Wrap it up.
04:59Whatever the price, we'll pay.
05:02Lucius!
05:02My voice trembled.
05:03This necklace represents my mother's blessing to me.
05:06How can you just take it away like this?
05:08Victoria.
05:10It's just a necklace.
05:11There's no need for you to cling to it.
05:14What, are you still dreaming of marrying me?
05:16Mia reached for it again.
05:18I didn't let go.
05:21Mia yanged hard.
05:31Oh dear, it's so fragile.
05:34Mia let out a mocking laugh.
05:36It's just a necklace.
05:36I accidentally broke it.
05:39I accidentally broke it.
05:40Victoria, you don't mind, do you?
05:43I knelt on the ground, picking up the gems one by one.
05:47Lucius surveyed the mess on the floor.
05:49He pulled a pouch of gold coins from his pocket and tossed it beside me.
05:56I'll pay for it.
05:58No matter how sad you are, it's useless.
06:01Let me tell you, my heart has always belonged only to Mia.
06:06Mia leaned into his arms and let out a laugh.
06:08I watched their figures entwined and suddenly remembered my past life.
06:13After Mia married Nestor, Nestor still did not wake up.
06:17Rumor spread all across the divine realm, deeming Mia an ill-omened woman.
06:22If I had been the one to go, perhaps it would have been different.
06:26Every time Lucius heard those words, his face would turn dark.
06:30He placed all that resentment on me.
06:33I was the one who had stolen the luck that should have belonged to Mia.
06:36Until the day he ascended to the throne of the king of the gods,
06:39I watched with my own eyes as he ordered my entire family bound to the altar.
06:45Blood everywhere.
06:47Mia suffered so much at the Temple of War.
06:50He smiled and said,
06:51You owe her this.
06:53Time to pay up.
06:54It was the drawing of lots that decided our fates.
06:58Yet he settled the score with my entire family.
07:01After picking up the damaged necklace, I let out a self-mocking smile.
07:06Raised my eyes to meet him.
07:09Lucius, you think far too highly of yourself.
07:11Of war.
07:13Lucius' pupils contracted sharply.
07:15The expression on his face instantly froze.
07:18He instinctively stepped forward, but Mia quickly hooked her arm through his.
07:22Lucius, we still have to go look at the wedding robes.
07:26Lucius took Mia's hand and left.
07:28I watched their retreating figures, my gaze icy cold.
07:31Lucius, you must remember this forever.
07:33You wronged me first.
07:35The day before the wedding, my father summoned me to the temple.
07:40Are you truly going to marry Nestor?
07:42I did not explain.
07:44My mind is made up.
07:45As I stepped out of the temple, a familiar figure stood by the pool.
07:49Mia had clearly been waiting for quite some time.
07:51I did not want to engage with her, but she blocked my path and gripped my wrist tightly.
07:57You're getting married tomorrow.
07:59Don't go coveting another woman's ruin.
08:01I looked at her, finding it ridiculous.
08:04What do you rave?
08:06What are you afraid of?
08:08Afraid I'll take Lucius away?
08:10Mia's expression changed drastically.
08:14Shut up!
08:15She suddenly grabbed my sleeve.
08:16Let me tell you, Lucius is mine!
08:19You just marry over there and dutifully tend to that comatose husband of yours.
08:25Let go.
08:26I shook her off, not using much force.
08:28But I saw her suddenly stumble and fall back.
08:31Mia!
08:31Lucius rushed over from somewhere unknown, barely catching her body before I hit the ground.
08:36Mia immediately clutched his robes and bent.
08:38I only wanted to congratulate Victoria on her wedding.
08:43I don't know why she pushed me.
08:46Victoria, you are so vicious.
08:49She has suffered so much because of you all along.
08:52And now you still want to harm her.
08:54Before I could even open my mouth to explain, a sharp pain shot through my chest.
08:59He actually pushed me for recognition.
09:05The whole body trembled.
09:07Yet I still forced myself to speak.
09:10The future king of the gods can't even see through such a cheap trick.
09:16He looked down at me from above.
09:18So what if I see through it?
09:19This is what you owe, Mia.
09:22You must pay it back.
09:24I looked at Lucius and suddenly felt the pool water wasn't so cold after all.
09:29After all, the most bone-chilling cold, I had already tasted it for over 20 years.
09:34Don't worry.
09:36Tomorrow I will marry Nestor.
09:38From now on, you and I have no connection.
09:43The second before I turned to him.
09:45Oh right, I almost forgot to tell you.
09:47I glanced back at him.
09:49The oracle said my marriage would decide the fate of Olympus.
09:52You just personally handed the power to decide your life and death to your worst enemy.
09:58Lucius seemed not to have expected me to be so resolute.
10:01He suddenly stepped forward and grabbed my wrist.
10:04The force was so strong it hurt.
10:06I distinctly saw a flicker of panic in his eyes.
10:10Do you really think marrying Nestor is something good?
10:13He's been in a coma for so long.
10:15What makes you think you can wake him?
10:18When you're trapped in that lifeless palace, you'll be mocked by all of Olympian.
10:22He released my wrist, took a step back as if appraising an object.
10:27But I'll give you another option.
10:28His voice carried arrogance.
10:30Be my mistress.
10:33How about it?
10:35It's much better than going to the Temple of War to watch over a living corpse, isn't it?
10:39No.
10:39I'm giving you a chance.
10:42Tomorrow night, I will send someone to get you.
10:45Take you away from here.
10:47I watched Lucius' figure walk away, finding him utterly ridiculous.
10:51I would rather gamble on that one in ten thousand chance than be his mistress.
10:55On the day of the wedding, Lucius, dressed in a white robe, stood before the temple to
11:00welcome the bride.
11:01But when he saw two wedding carriages, he suddenly lost his composure.
11:07Why are there two wedding carriages?
11:09Before the attendant could answer, from a distance came wedding songs, even louder, more magnificent
11:15than the display at Lucius' side.
11:17There, a grand procession of a wedding party approached, stepping upon olive branches.
11:22He saw me dressed in a white robe, wearing a golden crown.
11:27Lucius could not believe it.
11:28Victoria?
11:30That is Princess Victoria!
11:32The people from the Temple of War said they would welcome her with the highest honors,
11:37and would never let Victoria doubt from the sixth honors,
11:41and would never let Victoria suffer the slightest grievance.
11:44Wedding carriage stopped before me.
11:49The attendant helped me step into the carriage.
11:57Lucius thought I would regret it.
11:59He thought last night's threats would make me afraid, would make me obediently wait for
12:03him to come rescue me.
12:05He thought I had no other path to take, but he was wrong.
12:11The procession from the Temple of War departed in grandeur.
12:14I was led to Nestor's chambers.
12:16Torches were lit all around the bed.
12:17In the flickering firelight, the face of Nestor, the god of war, could be seen dimly.
12:23His complexion was as pale as paper, his lips devoid of color, yet still handsome and commanding.
12:29Your Highness.
12:30Rumors said he was invincible in battle, but in one campaign he was betrayed,
12:35struck by a curse as poison, and had slept without waking up ever since.
12:40The steward said in a low voice.
12:42The wedding ritual is ready.
12:44Are you certain?
12:45I nodded, walked to the bedside, holding a ribbon in my hand.
12:49The bride would tie the ribbon around the groom's wrist, symbolizing their fates were now bound.
12:54I pressed my lips gently to his.
12:56His lips were cold, without a trace of warmth.
12:59I felt it.
13:01His lips were moving.
13:03I opened my eyes and met Nestor's gaze.
13:09He's awake!
13:11The steward ran out excitedly to share the news with everyone.
13:15Nestor looked at me, dazed.
13:17Who are you?
13:18Your wife.
13:21Victoria.
13:22Daughter of Zeus.
13:24He stared at me for a long while.
13:26It was you who woke me up?
13:29I nodded.
13:30He did not speak again, but simply took my hand.
13:33News of Nestor's awakening spread quickly across all of Olympus.
13:39Victoria woke him up!
13:41The Oracle was right.
13:44Victoria can bring miracles.
13:47It was being discussed everywhere.
13:49Lucius listened to the news brought by the attendant and was very angry.
13:54This is impossible.
13:56He threw his goblet to the ground, shards scattering everywhere.
14:06How could she?
14:07What right does she have?
14:09Mia stood in the corner, her nails digging into her palms.
14:12She thought I would live a life worse than death.
14:18Lucius.
14:19Victoria is truly luckier than me.
14:21But it's alright.
14:23Having you is enough for me.
14:25Lucius looked down at her, the ferocity in his eyes slowly dissipating.
14:29Don't worry.
14:30He took her hand.
14:34So what if Nestor is awake?
14:36He woke up and I could make him fall down again.
14:40At the Temple of War, Nestor's condition was slowly improving.
14:44He spoke little, remaining silent most of the time.
14:47But every time I entered the room, his gaze would follow me.
14:51One evening, he suddenly asked.
14:53Why were you willing to marry me?
14:54I didn't hold back and told him about Lucius for my family.
15:00Lucius.
15:01I have heard of him.
15:04But he will not be proud for long.
15:07He turned his head, looking out the window at the darkening sky.
15:10He suddenly called my name.
15:12Victoria.
15:13His voice low, very serious.
15:15You chose me.
15:19I will not make you regret it.
15:25News of Nestor's awakening spread across all of Olympus.
15:29Everyone thought that the successor to the Lord of the Gods might be changing.
15:34Lucius could not sit still.
15:36He sent men time and again to spy on the Temple of War.
15:40But each time, they were turned away by Nestor's guards.
15:45Mia knew that if she did not help Lucius,
15:49she might never become a goddess of higher standing than me.
15:55Under the cover of night, Mia summoned her trusted attendant,
15:59pressing into her hands a secret letter and a heavy pouch of gold.
16:03I'm going to make sure everyone hears this rumour.
16:06I'm going to make Victoria the laughingstock of everyone.
16:09The contents of the letter were utterly venomous.
16:12It falsely claimed that after awakening,
16:15Nestor had grown violent in nature,
16:17was secretly stockpiling weapons in the Temple,
16:19and intended to murder Zeus.
16:21It also slandered me, saying I had seduced the God of War,
16:25that if I were not killed,
16:26I would surely bring disaster upon Olympus.
16:29To make the lie come true,
16:30Mia devised another wicked scheme.
16:33She asked the attendant to find a way to sneak into our kitchen
16:37and add mind-altering drugs to the water I drink every day.
16:41This herb was a rare hallucinogenic plant.
16:45Even a small dose would cause confusion and erratic behaviour.
16:50As long as I acted mad in public,
16:54others would surely believe the contents of the letter.
16:57Not only would my life be in danger,
16:59but Nestor would also be held accountable.
17:01But what she never expected,
17:03was that Nestor had already anticipated,
17:06someone would try to frame us.
17:08Ever since Nestor awoke,
17:10he had ordered the Temple's defences strengthened.
17:13The attendant just poured the powder of the bewitching herb,
17:16into my water cup.
17:17She was immediately apprehended by the guards.
17:21Nestor personally oversaw the interrogation.
17:25Who instructed you to poison my wife?
17:28The attendant was timid by nature.
17:30She tearfully confessed the truth.
17:37It's Mia!
17:38She revealed everything about how Mia had orchestrated the plot,
17:42and also handed over the gold coins Mia had given her.
17:45A few days later,
17:47Dad hosted a banquet.
17:48I sat beside Nestor,
17:50quietly drinking the wine in my cup.
17:52Across from me,
17:53a few goddesses were whispering among themselves.
17:56I didn't look up.
17:57Mia's tactics had always been the same.
18:00But Nestor cared,
18:02and he wanted to step in and save me.
18:04What are you saying?
18:05The goddesses' faces went pale,
18:07none daring to speak.
18:09Nestor stood,
18:10his gaze sweeping over everyone.
18:14Victoria is my wife.
18:16She is the daughter of Zeus,
18:18and is a god who brings good luck.
18:20If anyone were to slander her again,
18:22it would be challenging me.
18:25Then he clapped his hands.
18:27The temple doors opened,
18:28and a servant was escorted in.
18:32Say the facts,
18:33that you know.
18:35The attendant revealed the truth.
18:38Everyone's gaze turned to Mia.
18:41No.
18:42It wasn't me.
18:45Someone is framing me.
18:47Nestor glanced at him.
18:48Then he turned to Zeus.
18:51Mia framed my wife,
18:53poisoning your daughter.
18:57What punishment does she deserve?
18:59You dead man.
18:59I feel like I'm just pass-to-zt.
18:59to do and I'm just after I some age.
18:59You'll tell them about it.
